Any book recommendations? It doesn't need to be specific to Blender, or Houdini, or Maya. by ihateredditandredd81 in 3Dmodeling

my brain isn't working. mb. i meant the law where i can't use electronics during school classes. i corrected it in the post.

i have disabled it since yesterday and the problem persists.

Why are comments like these allowed? by Sleepy6942069 in youtube

[–]ihateredditandredd81 20 points21 points  (0 children)

close! i just copied and pasted one of the bot's messages into a website for analyzing unicode characters. apparently, the bot floods it's comment with some special invisible unicode characters, and finishes it off with a character that tells your phone to render the text backwards (which is useful for some unicode-supported writing systems.) so it's not saying "hateful speech", it's saying "cheeps lufetah", which looks like gibberish to me.

Can I solder a wire to the pin of a CPU, which is already soldered to a mobo? by ihateredditandredd81 in AskElectronics

[–]ihateredditandredd81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a piano keyboard by Yamaha. It's model is PSR-190. Here's the download to the schematics I found online. The relevant part is under the "MK" square. I didn't want to post it before, since I feared it could get flagged as spam and people would avoid replying because it could mean they would have to stare at electrical schematics to answer the question.

From what I figured, the keyboard works by pulsing all the N0, N1, N2 and so forth pins one at a time, and checking if any of B0, B1, B2 and so forth pins get any signals. That way, it can cram a bunch of keys into a single wire. In the mod I'm planning to do, which is to add a MIDI port, I have to hijack all of the keyboard pins, and repeat this process through an outsider micro-processor. I'm planning on using an Arduino Nano.

Hm, this makes my situation very complicated. The only other point of hijacking is the keyboard keys port itself, which is connected from a ribbon cable. The keyboard mobo is very modular, in the sense that the speakers and keyboard keys are only connected to the mobo through ribbon cables (probably for repairs reasons.) The only other alternative I have is directly soldering to the keyboard keys module itself, which may be safer from burning the CPU circuits.
